A different sort of person . . . . are we fitting in too well?

 A different sort of person . . . . are we fitting in too well?

We should not expect many folks to accept us as we live for Christ. Living for Him makes others call us weird . . . or different. They do not or cannot understand how or why we live as we do. We are odd. We have lost our minds. 

However, as we live for Christ, we realize we can outwit, outplay and eventually outlive those who are living for the world. Rewards and applause are not to be expected here on earth however. Our faith causes us to look heaven-ward for the reward . . . the "well-done"!

Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented . . . of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.
And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. (Hebrews 11:36-40)
